Sleeping in the Sky with Herbal Eye Pillows

Anyone who’s ever had their sleep schedule disrupted by travel knows how much havoc can be wreaked on their lives in the days — and even weeks — that follow. While a little shut-eye can go a long way, an airplane seat and a hotel bed are obviously two very different ways to drift into dreamland.

That’s one of the reasons why the good folks of Herbal Animals stuff their sleep masks with soothing agents like chamomile, lavender, echinacea and rose, making even the most red-eyed slumber just a bit more pleasant.

By way of softness, fragrance and attention to detail, the masks elevate themselves into the realm of bona fide eye pillows, giving even the most world-weary travelers a chance to breathe more deeply and dream more sweetly, drawing as much quality as possible from each extra minute of much-needed sleep.

If the spa-inspired qualities of the materials used aren’t enough to make you want to wrap one of these around your brow, consider the thought that went into the names of each cuddly creature: “Harry Otter.” “Leonardo Deer Vinci.” “Abra K’Zebra.”

What’s more, Herbal Animals regularly donates to charities like Feed the Children, The Humane Society, and Save the Children. Each eye pillow is made in the USA and retails for $18.
